I remember that damn ad on TV back in in 2009. It was for SakuraCon, a annual Anime convention in Seattle.

I went there once with a group of friends. Made anime look uncool very fast.

I see more people aware of it today, but was there a burst in pop culture with idiots that then died down? The people who talk about it today seem pretty genuine and get good reception.
